Coastcom Announces New Feature Card for its AIM - Advanced Intelligent Multiplexer

ALAMEDA, CA , February 1, 2002 - Coastcom, a leading manufacturer of communications equipment, is excited to announce the development of a new feature card for its AIM® - Advanced Intelligent Multiplexer.

Coastcom's new Synchronous Data Channel Unit (SDCU) for AIM provides the serial ports needed to interface directly to servers and other serial devices. This card completes a low-cost data path between serial devices encompassing the security and long range transportability of TDM. It connects a V.35 port to an EIA-530A, even if these 2 devices are 1000 miles apart. The AIM SDCU has four independent ports which can interface to Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) or Data Communications Equipment (DCE), providing synchronous data transmission. Each port has the ability to transmit and receive at up to 1.544 Mbps maximum (64K x N where N = 1 to 24). Each port of the bi-directional SDCU can be configured for V.35, RS-422/449, RS-232, X.21, or EIA-530A interfaces. Each port operates transparently to the data, permitting operation with any protocol.

AIM provides a highly resilient, cost-effective solution for today's broadband needs as well as a transition vehicle to tomorrow's technologies. AIM offers carrier-class access and integrates voice/data services with up to 60 full and fractional T1s and multiple T3s. AIM functions ideally as a 0/1/3 multiplexer, allowing complex voice/data grooming at the DS0 level. The system architecture will allow connection of up to 1,020 full duplex DS0s in any mix of DS1s and DS3s. With superior scalability, high port density, multiple levels of redundacy, and flexible bandwidth allocation, AIM supports diverse customer traffic while protecting your communications investment.
